Best Teen Writing Poems

I'm the one they run from,
what do I do wrong?
I'm the one they fall for,
but never want anymore.
I'm the one they want at first,
but then things change.
I'm the one they want,
but then my heart breaks.
Is it my fault, or theirs?
Did I go insane too quickly?
Fall...

I can’t make it, I can’t make it
I’m dying without any of my loved ones around me
Becky can you drive any faster
Hit the gas already
My chest is caving in, I feel like I can’t breathe
I open the car door and stand up
I am weak and...

I want to say something about cursive writing (this might seem random).

I’ve seen articles saying that cursive writing is a “dead art,” that computers have destined it for oblivion and questioning whether cursive writing should be taught in schools now-a-days.

But if you plan to go...

Lisa, a freshman in our residential hall sister-suite, and I have become fast friends over the last couple of weeks. Before we began hanging out I penned a piece about her that she thought was hilarious. Last Friday night Lisa and I were supposed to...

Im writing this poem, it's not coming from heart. 
Im writing from boredom, uhh.. where do I start?
My day has been boring, the night not looking too great.

My roommates are all up and about. It’s finals week and everyone is hustling about.
Lisa came in from an early exam, it was snowing lightly, she looked right at home.
“How’d it go?” I quizzed.
“E-Z,” she replied, shedding her long navy coat and mango and cashmere...

Please Pogo music, wake me up. The night, now reduced to warm laptop light, is inching toward dawn. I pray to the patron saints of writers - is it Neri or Ávila? Whichever is on call I suppose.

“I’ve indulged in reprobation,” I confess, openly to...

I want to be a writer -
and like a new poker player -
I'm starting to evaluate my cards.

I post on several poetry sites 
I find syncing them kinda hard.

heck, I'm the Edison of mistakes -
a teenager half-heartedly committed
to doing whatever...

When not slaved to school
work I rush to do all of 
my favorite things.

All at once in a
mad multitasking-fun-storm
of pleasure-chaos.

I was just sampling 
Spotify tracks, playing my
iPod and writing. 

While backing up my
music collection, planning
dinner and sewing.

And I thought maybe
I should make more coffee and
print...

He puts it out there, the Schrödinger’s cat of invitations.

Now, I’m irritated. “I TOLD you I don’t have time for.. involvement.”

“But you have to eat - so eat with ME,” he shrugs. “You can build a friendship with someone and still have freedom.” His observation...

This actual poet writes me silly poems.
He's there and I can't explain it.
A lifetime of experience and things lived I only imagine
and this actual, famous, poet writes me silly poems.

I wonder why me??  Why is he wasting time with me?
This sapient, hopelessly encouraging, ego-boosting...

Why do I keep remembering memoriez from my past? 
Why do I try hard to make each moment last?
Why are there so many liez behind every mans eyez? 
Why when I really love someone he grows apart and dies?
